One of the videos I shared on Youtube just got past one million views.

Anyone else got 'platinum' or 'gold' (100k) on Youtube lately? Even though I did not make the video (reason why I didn't agree when offered ads), just saved it about 12 years ago and shared it a few years later for educational purposes, this still feels special. ^_^

[SandEagle]

wow, you clicked it a million times?

 

[Kroze]

So how much did you make?

 

[dennilfloss]

Nothing. Since I did not make the video, I declined the offer of revenue. It's for educational/archival purposes only.

I think he posted it on several sites like this, and interest in the video got it to it's 1 million mark.

that's why when i talked to the navy recruiter 20 years ago i only asked about the navy seals. i can't see myself inside a ship and suddenly everything explodes because it got hit. at least out in the open you can take cover from fire

 

[OBLAMA2009]

imagine how painful it would be to get shot in the balls by one of those

This guy was on the hull when the capsized Barham's magazines exploded. He was propelled a long distance and was yet basically unharmed. One of 450 survivors.

But indeed one's chances aren't very good when the ship explodes under you.

I was wondering WTF was going on there:

The propellant consists of small cylindrical grains of smokeless powder with an extremely high burning rate. A maximum charge consists of six silk bags, each filled with 110 pounds of propellant.[6]

Anyone know why the crew members are wearing those strange hoods? I'm sure there is an obvious explanation but it's not obvious to me.
